I use the following little script that I borrowed from somewhere: It uses
"gmessage" (you can change to xmessage) and "at", and will pop up the
message that you typed in originally. If you call the script "reminder",
then make it executable: "chmod +x reminder" and put it in your path. You
can test it by calling the script and type in a little message. Finish
your message with a dot "." by itself on the last line and then hit
enter, i.e.
Here is the message
I would like to remind
me of some event
.
Then you are prompted to enter the time that you would like to get the
reminder. Type e.g. "now + 1 minute". The message will pop up in 1
minute. There are some examples of specifying times in the script. "man
atq" gives you more.

Enter time and day you want to receive
the message, for example:
0815 jan 24
08:15 tomorrow
now + 1 day
now + 15 minutes
1700 Friday
Then press Enter.
